JK. Im in a similar position regarding the VA and not having supplemental ins. I do have medicare but as we live month to month on a small VA pension. I have have an Aid& Attendance pension. This means I am considered to be 100% disabled as well as requiring a care giver(my wife in out case). It alos means that all my care is provided by VA with no copays on my part.
I have had sveral bad experiences with being inpatient at both the cinci VA and now Dayton. My last heart attack was handled by UC and when I I was recovering I was sent to VA right away. They decided to fool around and almost killed me. I also contracted MRSA at the Cinci VA.
Please make sure that somebody has his power of attorney and also that he has a living will. They shuffled my records and denied my wife her rights as my power of attorney. Im sorry to worry you, but I cant stress enough that you keep up on every step of his treatment. The VA policy is that once you sign the consent for treatment form, every thing they do is onsidered in YOUR best interst. If something goes bad, good luck getting any legal satisfaction.
